Actuarial (Life Insurance) Summer Internship 2026

Actuarial (Life Insurance) Summer Internship 2026 Location: Swindon Start Date: June 2026 Closing date for applications: Sunday 22nd February Insurance is so much more than you think! Are you wanting to discover more about careers that will excite, challenge and inspire you? If so, a Zurich summer insurance internship could be just what you're looking for. Forget any preconceptions you have about internships and the insurance industry. Our 10-week summer programmes give you a real job with real responsibility and a taste for life working at Zurich. With plenty of support around you, you’ll experience how your future career might look and help us make a difference to our customers at a time when they need us the most. Our summer internships are ideal for undergraduate students. As well as gaining some great experience, successful completion of your internship in 2026 could lead to you being offered a place on one of our graduate programmes starting in 2027. What can I look forward to? The 10-week paid Actuarial Internship is designed to provide a taster of what an actuarial career at Zurich looks like. You will be working in an actuarial role from day one, gaining experience working alongside a team of actuaries and learning some of the foundation skills required to succeed in the profession. The internship provides a great opportunity for you to get to know whether an actuarial career, and Zurich, is suited to you, as well as an opportunity for the Zurich life actuarial team to get to know you. Your internship could involve working in reserving, pricing, reinsurance, or another core actuarial area. Whichever role your internship is in will give you the chance to start learning what an actuary does. You will be assigned a ‘buddy’ for the duration of your internship. This will be a past intern or a recent graduate – someone who will be able to help guide you through your early experiences, give you advice and answer any questions about working at Zurich. Additionally, the Zurich Internship Scheme will help to develop your non-actuarial skills and give you a chance to work on a project across different career disciplines.
